The Death of the Free Bird (opens in new tab)

I joined Twitter back when it was still called Twitter. Back when it had a soul. I used to call it the bird app. Everything felt natural. People had real conversations, silly ones, serious ones, everything in between. It just worked. Not anymore. Now it’s a shell of what it used to be. The numbers might be higher than ever, but the spark is gone. Maybe it’s been gone for a while now, and I’m just now admitting it.
